No MOT history so looks like it has possibly been off the road since before 2006.
Nice project. Looking forward to the progress Buster.

Doesn't look like too much work Buster, ready for the Dales meet next summer ? possibly, if I can get the frame back to black and everything back on it can then become a rolling restoration.

Looking forward to the progress Buster. found the ebay pics still cant believe it only got one bid at £475 if it had been stripped down in boxes idiots would have been tripping over themselves to bid on it

Just noticed the CB400NC twin-pot caliper in that left side shot, working ok with the standard 400N disc, (useful to know).

Looks more professional than the duck tape holding my rubbers together and various other bits too

Many years ago there were no O ring rubber seals listed for the carb inlets, so I bough new inlets from Silvers. I think the old inlets are still in my bits box somewhere, can't remember condition, but got to be better than those. You can have 'em if you want.

You asked about the mirrors.
No, not standard OE. They look a bit chunkier....a bit like the ones found on the CB750/900F series (1979-85).

just had a closer look at the front discs this looks to me like the area the pads have been contacting, so later discs could well be on the (long) shopping list

it begins, this is likely to be an expensive journey, but not as expensive as 300+ euro's per disc from cms (ouch!) £50 off ebay and the discs feel ok just to add I'm not setting out to 'ruin' this bike with loads of mods, but its a period mod that someone else tried I'm just going to make it work properly (I hope) and from what I'v read on here the original calipers are getting hard to find in decent nick and complete with anti rattle clips. there I'v made my excuses
